Restoring Using a Different Media Server
Hello Everyone, I would like some assistance on how to perform a restoration using only one server that acts as both the master and media server. I currently have two master servers: one for PROD and one for DR. I plan to decommission the PROD master server along with all its connected media servers. I also plan to decommission the media servers connected to the DR master server and use the DR master as both the master and media server. My main concern is the restoration process. How can I redirect restorations from the old media servers (used for old backups) to the new combined master/media server, and use it for restoring both old and new backups? DR MASTER SERVER INFO: NBU Version: 10.3.0.1 OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Thank you.74Views0likes5CommentsRedirecting Restore to a Different Media Server
Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to change the destination media server for my restore. When I perform a restore, the media server used was the same one that performed the original backup. I am planning to decommission all currently active media servers and use the Master Server as the Media Server as well. How can I change the ownership of the backup image or media to a different media server? Master server Information: NBU Version: 10.3.0.1 OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Thank you in advance.Solved93Views0likes3CommentsIs there a way to backup the OS through NetBackup?
I am curious if it is possible to back up the OS using only netbackup software without using bmr or vsr. There are system state and shadow copy components in the backup selection, and I am wondering if it is possible to backup and restore the server OS through these. If you know any ideas or technote addresses, please let me know.108Views0likes2Commentsrestoring file from linux source to windows target; is possible?
Hi people: We are using NBU 10.x on windows 2022 media/master server (both roles same server). Have a mix of windows and linux clients. We need to restore a file from /wrk/app/app-baks.tar to a windows server on e:\wrk\app. My co-worker running this restore tells me that NBU GUI is telling that restore path is invalid. Tried e:/wrk/app but don't work. And seems that isn't supported. Any idea to accomplish this task ? Maybe UNC or and NFS on the same server? Hope to being clear.255Views0likes4CommentsRestore not working
Hello, I have a backup stored on disk of a WinServer 2019 VM that I am trying to restore; however, when i alter the VMs current state (ex add a new program, add a file, etc) and then restore to the backup point - the new "changes" i made are not wiped away. Even though the restore shows successful, I dont believe that it is if my current VM state (files, programs, etc) arent restore to what they were at the time of the backup. Ive tried overwriting and restoring files/volumes both from Files, folders or volumes as well as Complete online restore options, but have not seen what I want to see. Any ideas?550Views0likes2CommentsCatalogue jobs failed - data inconsistent on each tape?? V-79-57344-33994
Hello, i haveto restore an old backup (created with backup exec 10 i guess). For this restore i use Backup Exec 2010 R3 on Server 2008 R2. There are no entries for this backup in the catalog. So i loaded all tapes for this backup (20x LTO4 containing one backup) in my 24-Slot loader and inventorized them. After that i created catalogue jobs for each tape, starting with the first one. After 2 hours and about 800gb data the job on tape 1 failed with the error (translated): V-79-57344-33994 - Data read from media is not consistent. All other tapes failed with the same error. I can browse the data of the first tape and restore some of the items (others have a red cross). All other tapes are not in the catalogue, so i cant browse them. What i tried: * cleaning drive * checking statistic data for all tapes (0 errors) * Under BE Options > catalogue > disabled request all media in a row (translated) * enabled debugging May the first tape be broken? Is there a possibility to check the contents of all other tapes? I'm doing something wrong?
